You must like paying out large small amounts over a period of time. And get a percentage lump sum back in the end.

I can make you a better offer. I'll Make a deal with you. Beginning January 2009. You send me a $1000 a month, And at the end of December 2009. I'll send you a lump sum of $8000. Now thats $3000 more than the casinos offered you back.

That is hilarious
Really though....the whole thing is really quite sad. I learned a long time ago to stop telling people that I was going to quit gambling. You just end up sounding foolish especially with all the goodbyes and rationalizing and re rationalizing. . . . . "Just one more time" etc.....etc...etc.....

Now its tuesday, and 7 days into the withdawal, nothing as of yet on the account. However from CS I was told the earliest was yesterday and the latest is tomorrow. So between now and tomorrow I will have cash on my account - sweet!

On the other comments, thanks for responding. I think I just saved my ass this time, I registered a fresh trial account at a MG casino (trial as in funnymoney - and new account as in fresh chance) and startet wagering as I normally would, I hit an extremely rare sucky streak and I kept going for... you guessed it, $5150. I backed up all the data for future reference, on how bad it can go! I went over 2300 spins without feature, so go figure unlucky streak! So thank you for the test account - I got the feeling of losing it all over again - just that I didnt this time - a blessing!

Soon I will be able to post a picture of that television, a few more hours hopefully!

That's awesome Kimss! Make sure to let us know when you actually get the money in your account so CS doesn't say something "came up" and you wont' get it.

I like what you said there Jasminebed, that's always been my mentality. Casino gambling is (for better or worse) like having drinks - you're paying for the feeling and fun - so consider the money as already spent, that way if you do win, it'll mean a lot more to you!

Isn't that one of the main ideals of Buddhism? Give without expecting. If you do this, when you receive it means doublefold.

(It's either Buddhism or my Uncle Carl)

Great way of thinking about it. But when we buy drinks for the "feeling and fun," we expect the drinks to not be watered down, right?

oh, and god bless uncle carl... a wise man.

Thanks for this, I will! We are now into day 5 from CS told me it would take from 3-5 days. I was told that ment it would never take less than 3 days, but at the same time never _more_ than 5 days. That means I will be expecting this money some time during tomorrow (that is it's 01:41 AM here).

To be honest, I have kinda been waiting for the money now since sunday and it is really affecting my work performance big time! I am anxious, checking the bank account again and again! Surely the great feeling I had when I won the money will return when I see the amount available on my account, but at the moment right now I am just biting my fingernails wondering if they will ever arrive! Infact, winning money and waiting for them is a pain in the ass! Surely they will arrive, and by arriving tomorrow giving the benefit of the doubt for the 12 hour pending period the money is infact in my account in 7 days!

7 days - and you will die! LOL, a bit drunk here! My TV is by the way a little on hold here, I figured I pay some bills instead! Then I'll buy some presents for my kids - 3 of them - then after that I will have to reevaluate what to do with the rest! To bad really, I really wanted that TV - however, as some people so funnily mentioned by giving them the money instead - by doing a little money management, I can afford it anyways,

Lucky me, however - point of this drunken post - no money in the account as of yet! Hrmf!

Finally, just for fun - to defend the casino a little. We always say that they take our money instantly with credit cards. That is in itself not correct. Why the money is authorized and debited our balance from the account, the casino doesn't really get the money until atleast a few days has past due to the way Visa payments work. They collect a bulk of all transfers and then recieve their payment, depending on their deal and I do not know how casinos work but I would expect they have extremely lazy rules due to possible stolen cards and fraud - possible in 14 days or so. So - they do not get their cash instantly even if it is debited - visa does - but they sit on it in 14 days cycles or so.

There - I'm done - more wine - more beer - and a shot of Türker and I'm ready for bed!

Lova ya!

There - I am paid! Money is in the bank! Yeeha! Finally, time to pay the bills,

Nice, I am glad to see that you had a great win-streak.

I am also having a win-streak right now at a B&M Casino bringing 60$ up to 3000$ in 3 days.

Best of luck to the both of us and everyone else.
